The guy training me says he wouldn't but it is up to me, as long as I feel comfortable and don't develop bad habits. I'm looking for alternative opinions. Is it worth doing? Or completely pointless other than for style points, does it offer more openings?
Depends on the person and the reflex... I seen many a boxer sparked getting too cute before they had the basics down , getting caught right on the switch only kissing canvas for the effort.

Naz did it often.. important to remember Naz had that God given natural talent and reflex. . most don’t have it . I would stress good solid fundamental base first.. when you nail that, then want to branch off trying different things , by all means but don’t fuck about ruining all aspects of your game by rushing everything ! Be patient , listen to your coach ! Best of luck, God Bless
